Well another weekend of college football gone by and another week closer to January and the playo.... er BCS game. Touching on the weekend it's nice to see that I was close to, if not correct on my upset special. Well minus the USC/ND game, which was more of a biased prayer than an actual prediciton. I've excepted since week 2 that ND has no shot at a good season with the terrible group they call an offensive line.
Deja Vous?
Last week #2 USF ventured up to NJ riding the tide of a cinderella season that was borderline incredible and was "upset" (if that's what you can call it) by an underacheiving Rutgers team. Well this thursday, exactly a week later, a fortunate #2 Boston College team ventures into Blacksburg, Va to take on an underachieving Virginia Tech Hokies team. I suggest you watch and then Friday check back for some boasting in the Friday Morning Fog. As well as an analysis of the most biased calling of a game in the history of sports, unless ESPN blackballs Flutie from his usual Thursday Night Commentary.
Hockey Season?
Not just the name of my fantasy hockey team but also my feelings for this time of year. Just gonna touch on a few things.
-Rough weekend for a Sabres team that looks tired and lacking enthousiasm that could be solved with some quality, vocal leadership and not leader-by-example
- Sid the Kid's shootout goal was the most incredible thing I've seen performed on ice since I was 12 and saw Aladdin on ice at the Aud. I mean did anyone else feel like they were watching a Barry Sanders highlight.
October Delight
Ah, the foliage is green and the weather is warm and fall is here. Wait, that doesn't make sense, damn global warming. But anyways, after another "amazing" (sarcasm) comeback by the Boston Red Sox, a team that had underacheived throughout the entire ALCS then finally decided to do what was expected of them, the world series is set. The Colorado Rockies (that's right those Rockies) have been waiting in the Snow for the series to begin while Bud Selig has been sitting home crying. What a better matchup than America's new "team" vs the perenial losers hailing from a city that received 8 inches of snow the other day. I bet Selig is pumped at the potential of the season also ending with snow delays just like it started. This is further evidence that baseball season has been expanded too long and that things need to change. If Selig wants parity, he needs to fix other problems so that small market teams in not so ideal April and October cities can succeed without any issues.
Prediction -
Rockies in 6. Boston is gonna slack and drop one at home and... in snowy conditions struggle with colder than usual temperatures and the loss of the DH with Papi having to field his position in snow flurries. (Plus I HATE Boston)
Lost in the Mail:
Dear Manny,
Thank you for almost making my dream come true by hitting the longest single in MLB history. Not quite as good as pimping a grab at the wall but it'll suffice.

Willis,
Happy Bday. Enjoy your loss. Although I doubt you even noticed because you got your 100 yds and scored. I guess that means that you did your job. Right?
-Fans in Buffalo
PS. tell your coaches to enjoy the long run, cause if history serves me right, it'll be another year before it happens again.
Dear Tom Brady,
Seriously Stop! Or I'll be forced to do something really bad.
-Peyton Manning
Dear Peyton Manning,
Sorry, I really wanted to relax during the second half and imagine what the night had in store for me and my smoking hot, gf (she's a supermodel you know) but that damn perennial backup had to turn the ball over. Not to mention my coach wants to stick it to the world, while I'm sticking it to Giselle.
-Tom Brady
Well off to my usual monday night activity of sitcoms and dinner with Adriana Lima....
Keep it Artificial,
DG1
